In the present paper, the theoretical and experimental investigation of the thermomagnetic properties of the LaFe11.0Co0.8Si1.2 alloys was conducted. The field dependences of magnetization in a wide range of temperatures were collected. Based on the thermomagnetic Maxwell's relation, the magnetic entropy change ΔSM was calculated. Moreover, temperature dependences of magnetization in a wide range of fields were simulated using the phenomenological model. The values of thermomagnetic properties, such as magnetic entropy change and refrigeration capacity, were calculated.
